A really good college and spent 3 years worth it.
Placements: College supports placements but I was in B.A. so there was no particular placement system recently. There is this company I forgot the name, but it is like some TP or tasks type company. I think TP and tasks play more. But B.Com can make something out of you.
Infrastructure: Campus and hostels are good. The infrastructure is great and can be settled easily. There is also the best college in every other sense except placements for B.A. others I don't know. College is a place where you can have the best college life with ups and downs. Food and mess system is awesome, you can also visit canteen and other cafes and stalls in college itself, with a walking distance of 800-900 meters. We have sector 32 market where you can buy anything you want, and also there's a street food market which is open in the evening.
Faculty: Exams and all the other factors above mentioned are top notch as you know it's affiliated with Punjab University so education and degree are top notch. The curriculum is well structured and efficient also the facilities are up to the point. From here you can continue you are course at Punjab University or any other college. Chandigarh Dav and Punjab University are great options for M.A. in psychology on merit basis, or you can give CUET and continue in any other central university.
Other: College has it's own fests and the crowd is absolutely awesome. College celebrates 2-3 fests. College clubs are best because they host fests very frequently. These are like NEST out of all other colleges.

Good college for a non-attendee.
Placements: Good placements are provided at my college. Approximately 5 out of 10 students are placed on campus every year. The packages provided are pretty decent from 5 LPA to 10 LPA, it is decent college for graduation purpose.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is fine. There are no ACs in classrooms. There is Wi-Fi in the college. Three canteens are available along with two libraries, one of them is a study room. Proper laboratory and computer labs are available. Sports facilities are not good in the college, no proper ground is available but competitions are held frequently.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and helpful but some teachers are young which helps in building a good connection between students and teachers. The teaching quality is pretty decent and teachers are knowledgeable. This course I won't say is enough you need to pursue a postgraduate degree to get a decent entry into the job world. Semester exams are easy and pass percentage is good too.

All About SD College Chandigarh.
Placements: Many students got placements with a good amount of package. Many were placed in hospitals, medical companies, etc. Many were hired as psychologists, counselors. Many big companies were there to recruit with a minimum package of 6 Lacs per annum to a very big amount.
Infrastructure: The department has good Wi-Fi facility, labs are clean and up-to-date, things are kept there with AC and projector in each lab. Classrooms are neat and clean with top-quality whiteboards. The library is very up-to-date and big. Hostel/canteen is very clean, and food is prepared hygienically with good products.

A LITTLE WORTH THE HYPE.
Placements: Placements are provided, but they depend on your skills, knowledge, qualifications, and grades. Big firms do come to the college to offer internships and on-campus recruitment. However, the course is new, so we cannot expect many placements for this particular course.
Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi and three canteens: one open canteen, one shed canteen, and one in the PML Business School. The classrooms are large but do not have AC. The hostel food is very nice and provided on time. The college infrastructure is good but very small.
Faculty: The faculty is good. The teachers are qualified and experienced in their fields. They are knowledgeable and helpful. There are mid-semester exams that are meant to be very hard to score, and then there are the end-semester exams, which are conducted by the university.

Good college, good crowd!
Placements: There is no guaranteed placement. The placement percentage is about 20-30%. There is also a placement cell available for the students where they can seek help. The average salary packages are 5 LPA. In my department, students usually go for higher studies.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi available. The library is good enough with a decent range of books. There is also a reading hall. Labs are good too, mainly the psychology lab, botany lab, chemistry lab, computer lab. The fashion department is great too and is well-equipped. The food available in the hostel is of great quality, and the menu changes monthly.
Faculty: The teachers are definitely qualified, and most of them are helpful. The course curriculum is relevant, and teachers use both practical and theory methods to teach students, which is great. The level of difficulty of semester exams isn't too much. The pass percentage is 35%. Also, 75% of attendance is required.
Other: Fests and events take place pretty much regularly, like 1-3 per month. The campus crowd is great and friendly too.
